So if God knows everything, including everything that ever has and ever will happen, doesn't that mean that everything that ever happens is predetermined? And by extension wouldn't that imply that free will is a lie since everything that ever will happen, including this post questioning it, was known by God at the beginning of time?
On that same note, every time God was disappointed in humanity in the Bible, be it the great flood or eating the forbidden fruit, wouldn't he have known about it in advance?
Like he would have known the entire human experiment would have been a failure long before he even started it.... unless of course it ultimately ends in a success.
On that same note does God know of any action he himself will ever take?
No, it's not predetermined. When He gave us a free will it means that He gave us the ability to make choices which can affect what kind of life you have and when you die because it is possible for someone to die before their time. By not having free will means we are slaves forced to do God's will and God will not do that because it would go against His nature.
